Josh Smith is making waves in Major League Baseball as he became the second player in Texas Rangers history to start at seven different positions in a single season, achieving this milestone just 27 games into the season. After starting in right field in a game against the Giants, Smith humorously admitted he had to ask about the position designation as it was unfamiliar territory for him. His versatility comes as a temporary solution while regular right fielder Adolis García takes a much-needed break due to a slump, having recorded just three hits in his previous five games.

Manager Bruce Bochy noted that García is working on regaining his timing at the plate and is taking this day off to reset mentally. The Rangers celebrate Smith's adaptability, which includes prior starts at positions ranging from second base to designated hitter. The remarkable feat underscores the depth and flexibility of the Rangers’ roster as they navigate the early part of the season.
